      I have been using a PS3 controller with no problems until a week ago. For no apparent reason, the joysticks stopped working. Tried to reconfigure, but it does not seem to save the configuration. Tried to reset the controller configuration through retropie; but an error message flashes by. Something about a retroarch directory not being found. Also reinstalled retropie, but there was no change.

      I believe I have retropie version 4.2.12.

      Any thoughts?

        @dcjdcj did you reinstall retropie or retroarch?

          @edmaul69 Thanks for the response.

          Yes, multiple times. Also performed update several times. And reset the config files and roms.

          Following other suggestions, I reset the PS3 controller, changed controllers, and removed/reinstalled the PS3 driver. Also, I deleted the retroarch joypad directory. No change to the controller problem yet.

          For more details; the joysticks work when configuring the controller. That is, they register properly and have an axis movement identified as the input. But when controller configuration is over, they still do not work.
